“My grat dfather would never lide
out on that ’ar machine with a silk
umberreller over his head, ef he knowd
kisself,” remarked a deep bass voice
behind me, and turning around I be
held Mr. Doolittle contemplating a
Buckeye Mower. “Them dcw fangled
machines, sir, are destroying the race
of far ners, sir. There ain’t uonc on
’em left to speak on no/' he said, look-,
ing disdainfully on tho fiyiug rakes, as
they went around like tho arms of a
windmill. “This, I suppose, they call
the Agricultural Department.— pooty
Agricultural Department; ain’t got a
tater o a squash.’' Anger was on his
brow, heavy and dark, as he moved
away. I looked around and it was, in
and *cd a sight “Can it be possible,”
I said to myself, “that these elegegant
machines beforo me were ever intended
for the field or are destined, in future
to lay under the shed in ihebarn-yard.”
Everything is constructed with a
taste and beauty that seems to
be absolute perfection. And
this taste and beauty is not confined to
any particular thing; it is eveywhere
throughout the Agricultural Hall.
Passing up the main aisle, you come
to an exquisito exhibition of Mosaic
work, in colors so rich and beautiful
that your attention is immediately ar
rested. Your first inquiry is what it is
for, and you finally conclude that it is
an unique specimen of Mosaic tiling.
You draw nearer Can it be possible !
Why, it’s crackers ; nothing but crack -
ers and biscuits—bnt crackers biscuits
in such shapes and hues as you nevei*
gazed upon before. This is the exhib
it ol E. J. Larrabe & Cos., of Albany,
New York, and is one of the most at
tractive points in the Hall. Three hun
dred different kinds of crackers and bis
cuits are employed jn decorating the
Wonderful Mosaic walls. And not, 1
am informed,specially gotten up for the
occasion, but every kind duplicated in
stock an subject to their regular bus
iness order. As I stood there enjoying
them, my mouth watered on both sides,
1 was in hopes some mischievous little
scoundrel would fling a doorstiek and
smash otic of the panes of glass by ac
cident, but nary doorstick and and nary
boy, so 1 passed sadly on, to find m3 self
still surrounded by good things. Near
me was a gigantic temple of candy, re
presenting the signing of the Declare*
tion ol Independence, a number of tab
leaux iu American History. Washing
ton crossing the Delowaro, the rescue of
Captain John Smith by Pocahontas,
The surrender of Port '1 icondcraga to
Ethan Allen, The fight between the
Kersage and Alabama, and, crowning
all, the signing of the Emancipation
Proclamation. It is a wonderful piece
of work, and is but only one of the
many beauties of Agricultural Hall. '
One thiog that appeals to the heart
of every housekeeper is the manner in
which fruits and vegetables can bo prop
erly preserved through tho year, and
this is certainly one of tho 6trongert
rint in the Agricultural Department.
do not believe that finer specimens
than those exhibited iu this hall can be
found in the world. They c<mie from
many States, and are contributed by a
multitude of people. Some are the con
tributions private individuals, and others
by established manufacturers. Fore o
most among the Manufacturers, the ex
cellence of whose goods have given them
a commanding position in trade, is the
great firm of Githeu <fc Kcxamer, whoso
exhibit here is ono of special merit—
peaches, pears, apples, and vegetables of
various kinds are turned out of their
cans tasting as fresh as if they were just
plucked from the orchard or culled
from the vegetable garden.
The aquariums form ono of the umst
interesting features of this remarkable
exhibition, and on my way down to see
1 stumbledV>ver two sucking pigs, one
weighed about thirteen and the other
about fourteen hundred , nice little for
roasting, 1 said to my self, as 1 g<*t up
rubbing my sliin and walked on to see
the fishes; and there they were in great
glass boxes swimming about just as nat
ural os life I have not been fishing for
a number of years, and l felt an uncon
trolable desire to go fishing. One tank
was filled with turtles—fine, fat looking
fellows that would have made
an a dermau’s mouth water; and here,
too, were salmon—little bits of follows
who survived the perils of a voyage front
Columbia River, nearly four thousand
miles, were swimming about just as live
ly as if they were in their native stream
1 love to contemplate the briny monsters
of the deep, said I to myself, half aloud,
as I stood looking at them “Monsters
of the briny deep,’’ remarked Mr. Doo
little, who bad just come up ; “the mon
sters of the briny deep, sir; not the
briny monsters of the deep. What do
you admire them for, sir?” he asked.
“Decausc they make brains, sir,” I re
plied, exultiugly. All the fish in the
sea wouldn’t be sufficient to furnish
some folks brains,” said Mr. Doollittle,
looking down on me; and with a wink
of bis eye, he said, “Look hero, jest a
lew sLps this way ; ioek into that mod
•‘Truth Conquers All Things.”
est case, sir. Ef you noospaper rneu
want brains, as most on you do, this is
the stuff that’ll give ’em to you. There
was a doctor, I forget his name, b#t he
was a big gun, ho was, au’ he said there
was more brains, clear grit, in one piut
of wheat than tliore was in four bushels
of onion I mention this he su'd, severe
ly, ‘ because you want brains and this is
the stuff to make ’em.” Here was a
new article of manufacture, at least new
to me. I bad heard of cracked wheat
and crushed barley, wheaten grits. Bad
oatmeal ; 1 had eaten them all; hot
here was something new. And then I
reflected that ttito wheat catered ‘ho
largest proportion of brain and muscle
food of any other thing. I tried
it; it was palatable and sweet,
uutricious and, to mind, supplying a
great want in our domestic economy ; a
healthy food that can be prepared in a
few minutes and of whieh in the most
simple manner a multitude of toothsome
dishes can be made. The conclusion
arrived at in the manufacture are the
result of scientific analysis, and the ar*'
tides furnished by the Cereals Manu
facturing Cos., of Brooklyn are steam
cooked white wheat crushed maize oats
grits,barley and a compound called Gems
of Harvest. If it has really within
it the brain element let every editor
and Centennial correspondent carry a
small bag in his pooket and by the ef
fect of their powerful example it may
one dav become a nat oual food and bo
to Young America what potatoes
are to an Irishman or rice to a Cbina
unn.
Another magnificent display is from
the g eat city lVrkopolis otherwise!
known as Cincinnati. Several wealthy
firms have joined in this exhib'.tion and
it certainly reflects great credit, on the
State which it represents. Here are
casks with glass heads lull of the o'
finest of salt pork. Hams done up in
red, white, and blue satin, that lock
very much like parlor ornaments. A
100 pounder roasted whole, with a ring !
in his noso and labeled ‘A Ring in

Broadbrim.
Gen. A„ If. Colquitt.
Wo projioso to say a fow words in re*
to this most excellent man, iu the way
of biographical notice, that thoso who
may not have been made familiar with
his history may see what high claims his
friends may set up iu his behalf to the
popular regard and confidence. From
his youth General Colquitt has been dis
tinguished lor his morality and modest
worth. He was the most dutiful and
devoted of sons, the truest of brot.heis,
and he never lost a friend. His whole
life does not furnish a solitary instance
uf p.uile, and hardly one of resentment
or hostility towards a human being, ll
is no wonder, then, that when the qual
ties of heart such as this distinguished
mao possesses, have been so ably sup
ported bv judgement, prudence and dis
cernment far above the suui ol ilnso
traits which fall to the lot oi most meu,
that he should have been the favorite
and almost the pet of the public.
Colquitt, though not born to fortune,
spiung from parentage that placed him
under bonds from his earliest youth to
love and honor Georgia. He felt this,
aud so long back in his lj!e, that those
who remember him as a youth, think ot
him as a model. In Lis early manhood
the people looked upon him with bene •
diction, and in spite of bis modesty and
self abnegation they called him into their
service. When quite a young man he
received the nomination ot his party tor
t he representation ol the Second bougi es
si.mal district, aud he was elected by a
most honorable vote.
Declining a second term, be was unan
imouslv and by acclamation renomiuat
ed by the party convention, but be firm
ly declined the splendid offeriug. lie
gladly retired to tue walks of private
life, and with zeal betook himself to the
uupretending labors of a Georgia plant
er. His people still insisting upon re
taining his servijes, be was called to a
seat iu tho State Senate, and then he
was permitted to decline all public labor
that witharew him from his coveted se
clusion and pursuit. It was in that se.
elusion that the message of his Country’*
danger reached him. Without ado or
flourish, he resolved wheie duty called
fcttw ho htH go. He raised a line 00m
pa*y and reported at headquarters *
Atlanta, very early ia 1861, Bad wm
mustered into service. The service was
unlimited, and unqualified by any self*
ish stipulations whatevor.
Thia quiet solid virtue was recognized
as it ever before had been, aud Colquitt
was made Colonel of the 6th Georgia
Regiment, and took to Richmond, we
believe, the uery first “during the war”
regiment that inarched from Georgia or
the South, in fact. That regiment with
its patient, bravo and conscientious lead
or. whether as Colonel or Brigadier or
Major-General, in more than thirty bat
tles, prssed through all the trausuiigras
tions of trial and blood.
Tho hero of Manassas loved Col. CoD
quitt and trusted him, and no responsi
bilities, in Beauregard’s judgment, were
too heavy to be laid by him on Colquitt’s
shoulders. Who has not beard of the
battle of Olustee,which saved our entire
wire grass region lrom devastation ?
Colquitt was as veritably the hero of that
fight as Bragg was the battle cf Cluck
amauga.
Four years absence from borne, spent j
in the pitiless storm ol “irou hail, anu
the results of the war scattered to
the wluds one of tiro finest pri/utc for
tunes in Georgia, iuit poor as LSG7
found Colquitt lie was rich enough to
-ouic with ready and Luoyaut tread, aiui
lay upon the shattered altar ol his State
his offering- when all was gloom —when
stout hearts gave up and the groan was
uttered, “What is (he use ol further ef
lort?” this lion-hearted mat* was up
and ready. He counseled action —he
advised that no supine acquiescence in
reconstruction outrage and ignominy
should finish our ruin, and when amp
ly purses were anpi'ilcJ to in vain toi
tho means ol u last sLugglc for cur little
all, Colquitt and Toombs, u.l honor to
their names, came forward and made
about all the cash contribution that could
be got to make a fight on.
It is now history and glorious hostory
what good results ior us lollowcd the
advice and labors ol Gen Colquitt and
the noble band ol true men who (nought
as he did and struggled with him. Af
ter wo gained for the feteto its new
leaso of life the review and surround
ings were almost as discouraging as the
signs of destruction which bloody and
crue* war had scattered all around. Our
industry seemed to be crushed, and all
future lione of our agricultural recuper
ation seemed fully. But the General
hero again appears as the true a> and
graceful friend of the interests of the
State—and we can safely claim for
him a zeal and intelligence sn his labors
in behalf ol our greatest interest ihe
agriculture ol Georgia —second to no
other.
This we kno./ is high praise, for
where can we find mure energetic and
devoted service than has been rendered
l>y the friends of out planting aud fat ui
ing industry. Fur six years or more
General Colquitt has been [’resident ol
the Stato Agricultural Society aud has
given hiz most earnest efforts to build
up and extend the usetulness ol that
▼aluublo most honorable organigatiou.
Besides his labors for the society he has
been ono of the leading spirits iu the
great measure of direct trade between
Georgia and the foreign markets. The
solid practical sense of Gen Colquitt
made him long since deduce from our
situation tho vital fact that her agri
cultural enterprise was hampered aud
weighed down by restrictions and
useless burdens which must bo removed
Though ho well knew that millions ot
host ile capital could boused, and wouid
be, to thwart the patriotic endeavor to
take crushing loads from our bacK.s tins
fact did not daunt hiut and as President
of the Board for tho Formation of Di
rect Trade Geo. Colquitt has given
proof ot tho highest statesmanship
as well as the loftiest patriotic pui
pose.
Wc find this enlightened patriot al\ |

DEMOCRATIC I‘LATFORJI,
Adopted by the National Demo
cratic Couvcntiom, June 2S.
We, the delegates of the Democratic
party of tho United S'ates in national
conv3i tion assembled, do hero declare
the administration of the Federal Gov*
ernment to be in urgent need of imuie
diae treform ; do hereby cnjuiti upon
the nominees of this convention, and of
the Democratic party in each State, a
zealous effort and eo operation to thin
end, and do hereby appeal to our fellow
eitiaene of every former § olitical con
nection to undertake with us this first
and most patriotic duty.
For tho Democracy of the whole ooun*
try we do heie re •affirm ou faith in
the pcrmaooncy of tho Federal Union,
our devotion to tho Constitution of tho
United States, with its amendments uni'
versally accepted as a final settlement
of all tho controversies that engendered
the civ.l war, and do here record our
steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of
republican self-government; in the su
preuiacy of tho civil over military au*
thority; iu the total separation of the
church fine state for the sake alike of
civil and religious freedom; iu the
equality of all citizens before tho just
laws of their own euactuient; in the lib
erty of individual conduct utevexed by
summary laws ; in tho faithlnl education
of the rising generation that they may
preserve, enjoy and trausmit these best
conditions of human hapnitiess, and hope
we behold the noblest product of a hun
dred j ears nf changeful history; but
while we uphold the*bond of our union
ami the great charter ol these our rights,
it behooves a* free people to practid
that eternal vigilance which is the price
of liberty.
Reform is necessary to rebuild and
establish it: the hearts ol'tho whole peo
ple of the Union, eleven years ago hap
pily rescued from the danger of a cor'
rupt centralism, which after inflicting
upon ten State* the rapacity of carpet
bag tyrannies, lias honev-combcd the of
fleers of the Federal government itself
with incapacity, waste and fraud; in,
fccted and municipalities with
a contamination of misrule, and locked
fust the prosperity of an industrious
people in the paralysis of here times.
Reform is necessary to establish a
sound currency, restore the public crcd
i>. and maintain the oati.ual houor.
Wc denounce failure for all these elov- ;
en years to make g:od the legal tender j

value in the hand of the people, and i
the non-payment of which is a diare- ;
gnrd of the plighted faith of the uation
We denounce the improvidence which
in eleven years of peace has taken from
the pceplo in Federal taxes, thirteen
time the whole amount of the legal ten
der notej, and squandered four time this
sum iu useless expense, without accu*
uiulatiug auy reserve Ur their redemp
tion. We denounce financial imbecili
ty ami immorality of that party which
during the eleven years of peace, has
made no advance toward resumption,
that instead has obstructed resumption
by wasting ou- resources and exhausting
all our surplus incJUie, and while annu
ally professing to intend a speedy return
to specie payments, has annually enact
ed fresh hindrances thereto. As such
a hindrance we denounce the resump
tion clause of the act of 1575 and wc
hero demand its repeal. Wo demand a
judieit us system of preparation by pub
lic economies, by official retrenchments,
and b y wise finance which shall enable
tho nation to assure the whole world of
it perfect readiness to meet any of its
yrow'sea at the call of the creditor enti
tledtopaymcnt. We believe sucha system
will be devised and above all entrusted
to competent hands for execution, creat
ing at no timo an artificial scaroity of
currency and at no timo alarming the
public mind into a withdrawal of that
vaster machinery of credit by which
ninety.five per cent of all business trans
actions aro performed, a system open to
the public and inspiring general confix
dcnco would from the day of its adoption
bring hclaing on its wings to all our
harrassed industries and tot in motion
the wheels of commerce, manufac/
t.ures and mechanical arts, restore cm I
ployuicnt to labor and remnv iu a\l its
national sources the prosperity of tbe
people.
Reform is necessary in the sum and
and mode ol Federal taxation to the end
that the capital may bo set free from
distress and labor lightly burdened.

of injustice, inequality anti (also pre

peace tho people have paid to their tax
gatbercrers more than thrice the snui of
tbe national debt and more than twice
that sum for tho federal government
alone. Wo demand a vigorous frugal
ity in every department and from every
officer of the goverement.
•.Reform is necessary to put a stop to
the profligate waste of public lands and
their diversion from actual settlers by
tho party in poner, which has squan
dered two hundred million acres upon
* ail roads alone, and out of more than
thrioc that aggrogte baa disposed of
less than onc-aiith directly to tillers of
the soil.
Reform is necessary to correct tho
omissions of the Republican Congress,
and the errors of our treaties and our
diplomacy wh : eh have stripped our feU
low citizens of foreign biith nnd kin
dred of protection and have exposed
our brethren of tho Pacific coast to tho
incursions of a race not sprung from tho
same great parent stock and in fact
now by law denied cit.zenship or natu
ralization as being neither accustomed
to the t. adieus of a progressive civiliza
tion or exercised in überty under equal
iaws. We denounce the policy which
thus discards the liborty loving German
and tolerates the revival of the coolie
trade in Mongolian women imported for
immortal purposes, and Mongolian men
hired to perform Servile labor contracts,
aud demand such modification of the
treaty with the Chinese Empire or such
legislation by Congress within a
tutioii limitation as shall prevent the
further importation or iuiuiigraiiau of
the Mongolian race.
Reform is necessary, but can never
be effected but bv making it the con
trolling issue of the elections, and lift*
mg it above the two false issues with
which the office holding class and tho
party iu power seek to smother it—the
false issue with which they would seek
to enkindle sectarian strife in respect to
the public schools, of which tl*e estab
lishment aud support belong exclusively
to the several States, and which tho
Dumojratic party has cherished from
the foundation, and resolved to main*
tain without partiality or preference for
any class, sect, or creed, and without
contributing from the treasury to any ;
the false issue by which they soek to
renew the dyiug embers of sectional bate
between kindred peoples, once unnatu
rally estranged, but now reunited in ono
indivisible republic, aud common destir
y-
Reform is necessary in the civil ser
vice. F.xpcricuce proves that efficient,
economic conduct of the governmental
business i3 not possible if its civil service
be subject to change at every election ;
be a prize fought for ut the ballot box ;
a brief reward of party zeal instead of
the posts of honor assigned for proved
competency, and held for fidelity iu the
public employ; that the dispensing of
yutrouage should neither be a tax * upon
tlie time of all of our public men, uor
the instrument of their ambition. Here
again the professions falsified iu tho per
formance attest that the party in power
can work out no practical or salutary re
form.
Reform is necessary even in the high*
or grades of public service. The presi
dent vice-president; judges, cabinet offi
cers these and all others in authority
are the peoples’ servants ; their offices
•are not a priv. to perquisite, they aro a
public trust. When the annals of this
republic shew the disgrace and censure
of a vice, a late speaker of the house of
marketing his rulings as
a presiding officer, three senitor* pro •
Citing secretly by their votes as law mtk
kers five chairmen of the leading corn*
mitts of the late house of representatives
exposed in jobbbing a late secretary of
tho treasury forcing balauoes in tho
publio aocounts a late attornoy-Gcncr
al misrpropriating publio funds a sec
retary of navy enriched or enriching
friends by por centages levied off tho
profits of contractors with his depart
men an ambassador to England censur
ed in a dishororable speculation the
president’s private secretary barely es
caping conviction upon trial for guilty
empolicity in frauds upon the revenge
a secretary of war impeached for kigh
crimes and confessed misdemeanors, the
demonstation is complete that the first
step in reform must be the people’s
ohoicc of honest men from another par
ty lest tho disiasj of one political organ
ization in fest the body politic and thero
by, making no exchange of measures
and no reform. All there abuses wrongs
and crimes the product of sixteen,
years assandency of the republican par
ty oreate a necessary for reform admit
ted by the republicans thenifSeivcs but
their reformers arc voted down iu con
vention and displaced from the can i net.
The paity's mass of honest voters is
powerless to resist the eighty thousard
officeholders its leaders and guides. Re**
form can ouly be had by a peaceful civil
revolution. We demand a change o.
; system and a change of administr a‘
; tion * a change of parties that we may’
have a change of men.
